The yen rose from a one-year low against the dollar on Wednesday after threats of intervention from Japanese authorities, and the dollar was on the defensive after US data showed a slowing economy. The Bank of Japan had earlier loosened its yield curve control cap, disappointing investors.
Yen strength and a softer dollar tied to slowing US growth can support dollar-priced commodities, though the effect on feed markets is indirect. Lower expected US growth also weighs on demand expectations.
